Tang Ling glared at him fiercely: "What did I just tell you?"
Lin Lan wisely shut his mouth.
Tang Ling then looked at the boy in her arms, her expression becoming complicated.
The strangeness and peculiarity of it all inevitably made one think.
This is not an ability humans should possess.
Gu Jianlin.
Who exactly are you?
Unintentionally, in his dream, Gu Jianlin seemed to have dreamt of something, struggling painfully.
He instinctively held her tighter.
The sound of a heartbeat could be heard.
As if one could hear the boy's deep-seated confusion, helplessness, and fear.
Tang Ling, being of the Sword Sect path, must have a firm will and the ability to empathize with all things.
Thus, she could feel the emotions this boy was conveying.
Like a child seeking comfort from a nightmare.
Truly stubborn.
Tang Ling stroked his hair, took out a wet wipe from her pocket, and wiped the blood off his face.
She then remembered that the boy was only seventeen, not yet an adult.
How much suffering must a child endure to reach this point?
"Forget about this, you can't offend me."
Tang Ling turned her head, speaking coldly: "If the Kui Dragon Ancestor in the Sea of Eternal Life awakens and wants to use something left by Candle Dragon Venerable to make a big move, then all the forces will find a way to come in. And they won't enter on foot like we did, but will use ways like space-time transmission to avoid falling into dimensional turbulence."
She took a deep breath, her expression serious: "If I'm not mistaken, the dimensional level here will continue to upgrade."
The higher the dimensional level, the stronger the spiritual fluctuation it can withstand.
At that time, those Holy Land Level Ascenders will definitely flock in.
Judgement Court, Night Watchers, Ying Family, Sword Tomb, and the major families.
Or even Divine Generals.
And the Six Major Families of the You Ying Group, even the most mysterious Dusk.
There might even be a piece for the Ancient God Clan!
Ascender organizations from other countries will probably want a piece too.
Once the news of the Sea of Eternal Life gets out.
"Hey hey, Your Highness, I promise I won't say a word!"
Lin Lan clearly felt that the other side truly had the intention to kill him, worried he'd become a traitor: "Old Gu is a close friend of mine, his son is like my own! I promise..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the silent Jiuyin suddenly floated up and slapped him hard with the back of its knife!
Slap!
Lin Lan was dumbfounded.
"Bold slave beast, how dare you act recklessly!"
The blade of Jiuyin reflected a pair of eerie vertical pupils, scolding: "Speak nonsense again, and I'll chop off your head!"
Lin Lan was shocked: "What the hell? Slave beast?"
Ah Lan and Ah Yue exchanged glances.
The so-called slave beast is actually a special term from the Ancient God Clan.
It roughly means the same as poultry to humans.
In ancient times, the Ancient God Clan would domesticate human traitors who came under their command, calling them slave beasts.
Tang Ling watched coldly on the side, not knowing why watching this fool "eat dirt" always felt satisfying.
However, Jiuyin turned its blade again, examining her.
"This human girl isn't bad."
It said with satisfaction: "Can be a Female Sacrifice!"
Tang Ling was momentarily dazed, her cold voice rising: "Female Sacrifice?"
What kind of broken sword is this!
However, at this moment, the parrot in Gu Jianlin's backpack stuck out its head, not knowing its species, still bouncing around despite the dangers it had faced.
"Sin Slave, Female Sacrifice!"
It yelled defiantly.
Jiuyin was clearly an intelligent, growing Mythical Weapon, taking a deep look at the bird.
Showing a look of astonishment.
It fell silent, returning to the boy's hand.
As a Mythical Weapon once used by Candle Dragon Venerable, it hadn't awakened for a long time.
Not since it was broken.
But this time, it felt the presence of the Venerable.
The boy in front of it was a bit peculiar, it didn't even know his origins.
Just an instinctive sense of closeness and familiarity.
Ancient Supremes, though of different genders, cannot reproduce offspring.
They can only use bones and blood to create something akin to themselves.
This boy is likely created by the Supreme for such an attempt!
Isn't he the son of the Venerable!
Wait, the Venerable abandoned me, so why protect their son!
No, the Venerable abandoned me not because of heartlessness, but because I wasn't strong enough.
Must prove myself again, return to the Venerable's side!
"This boy's will has collapsed, not sure if he can hold on himself. If possible, on the Ice Field of the Sea of Eternal Life, there is usually a kind of worm called Snowfoot Worm and a special shrub called Heavenly Cold Wood. You should mash the woodchips and the worm's body together, and mix with virgin blood for him to drink."
Jiuyin said proudly: "It can help him recover quickly!"
Lin Lan heard this and retorted: "How clean and hygienic!"
Tang Ling also felt a chill at this.
"Wait, do we have a virgin here?"
Lin Lan's own two wives definitely weren't, he turned his head and blankly looked at Her Highness, couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, don't tell us the two of you have already hit a home run!"
Gu Jianlin remained oblivious in his slumber.
Tang Ling glared angrily, her cheeks burning: "Get lost! I can use Extreme Thunder!"
"Cough cough."
Ah Lan and Ah Yue helped smooth things over.
Lin Lan suddenly understood: "Alright, once I recover, I'll go out to find these materials!"
He struggled to his feet, lighting a torch to examine the dark palace.
"Huh?"
He suddenly felt something was off.
Tang Ling frowned, asked: "What is it?"
Lin Lan looked around, only to see the flesh had completely evaporated, even the corpses had turned into sinister white bones, the ground leaving traces of an Alchemy Matrix, evidently used for the resurrection of that Ancestor.
The center of the palace was a bronze Ancient Coffin, with its lid open.
There were ancient artifacts looming within the coffin.
At the end of the darkness was a giant iron throne.
Engraved with countless dense markings.
Logically, this bronze palace is a relic of the Ancient God Clan, the presence of writing is normal.
Except, this is not Ancient God Clan script.
"Isn't this the Night Watcher's cipher?"
Lin Lan was shocked: "Old Gu has been here!"
Tang Ling also widened her beautiful eyes, knowing about Professor Gu's great reputation.
Didn't expect to find traces he left here.
Everyone knows Old Gu is unparalleled in archaeology.
Recalling the vastness of time and space, feeling hopeless grief.
No, that's off-track.
In short, it's very impressive.
Anything left by Professor Gu means value!
"Wait."
Lin Lan scratched his head, muttering: "There was a recent resurrection ceremony for an Ancestor here, planned by Tang Zijing and another Divine. If that unknown Latin Divine doesn't understand the Night Watcher's cipher, that's normal, but Tang Zijing surely knows, why didn't he erase these traces?"
Tang Ling was slightly taken aback, looking at those cipher texts, she asked solemnly: "I don't know if my great-grandfather can recognize this writing, but as a Night Watcher, you should be able to recognize it, right?"
Lin Lan nodded slightly: "Of course!"

Gu Jianlin was sinking into his nightmare, suffering unbearably.
Peering into the memory of that Ancestor already brought him significant psychological pressure.
The final strike from Candle Dragon Venerable further shattered his spirit.
The mind of an Ancient Supreme is immune to external interference, but if it's the same level, that's another story.
The memory of that Ancestor brought him many crucial pieces of information.
For instance, the President, and the Green and Red Dual Kings, were all born opportunely.
The Ancient Supremes were not unaware of their existence, they even foresaw their emergence.
But they did not interfere.
They were even pleased to see these people grow.
No wonder, the teacher's view is correct.
The true enemies of the Ancient Supremes are always the same kind, not humans.
The stunning woman appearing in the memory was naturally Candle Dragon Venerable.
The other one was most likely Bai Ze Venerable!
Every exchange between two Ancient Supremes is invaluable!
It even mentioned the Vermilion Bird!
Candle Dragon Venerable's nemesis would be born because of the Vermilion Bird.
What does this mean?
Candle Dragon Venerable is so powerful, how could there still be an enemy?
If there is, the most suspect should be the Qilin.
Or perhaps himself, the Second Generation Qilin.
How could it have anything to do with the Vermilion Bird?
More importantly, Candle Dragon Venerable once asked, not knowing why the Ancestor of her clan betrayed.
This statement had such a strong sense of déjà vu.
Gu Jianlin could only think of one organization.
The Order of the Hidden!
Supreme-Level means!
